Paul Mann Custom Boats Receives Neptune Award

February 28, 2019

Paul Mann Custom Boats and the company’s marketing partners, Adams & Longino Advertising and Igoe Creative, received the industry’s highest marketing and creative honor, the Neptune Award, in the category of “Best Single Ad,” from the Marine Marketers of America (MMA) during the awards breakfast held February 14 at the Miami International Boat Show.

Altogether, 19 Neptune Awards and 14 honorable mentions were awarded for work done during 2018. More than 172 entries were submitted from across the marine industry, including entries from small accessory manufacturers, worldwide brands of engines, boats and other recreational marine products and services.

The winning “30th Anniversary” single ad captures the attention to detail and the hand-built and handcrafted roots of boatbuilding, especially custom boatbuilding. It differentiates Paul Mann Custom Boats from production sport-fishing yachts based on the heart, soul, skill and care of Paul Mann himself. Human hearts and hands are in fact the most important part of boatbuilding, and this 30th anniversary ad from Paul Mann showcases that attribute in a Paul Mann custom build.
